Get Your Bra On (With the Right Fit, Of Course)!

When I was 11 years old and growing up in New York, playing innocently on the block with the other kids, I was one day sideswiped by the comment, "Wow, Jess! You've got big boobs." I could've died on the spot.

It's true. I was a young, fast developer and entered junior high school as a C cup. While this situation could be potentially enviable, trust me, as the one who lived it, I didn't find it all it was cracked up to be. Grown men gave me attention I didn't understand. And, as an adult, I find it hard a suitable bra to accompany my 34DD status.

Enter The Bra Book. My girl, Jene Luciani, a beauty and bra expert, wrote the book on what women with boobs of all sizes need to know. Flat as a pancake? Read the book. One boob bigger than the other? No worries. Read the book. Jene, along with Bravo (and Chris March of Project Runway fame) held a fabulous bra book party in New York City last week, celebrating with bra cupcakes, bra-tinis and Jene in a couture dress made of 200 bras!

What was once my pre-pubescent nightmare, after a night of cocktails and bra education, became breast in show!
